ServePath says it is extending its presence in San Francisco?s south-of-market district at a time when many telecom facilities are closing, leaving millions of square feet of vacant office space and computing facilities. The company says it is growing because it is small, focused and able to provide reliable services.

?ServePath is doing well because our strong business case for outsourcing Internet servers is especially compelling in today?s tough climate,? says John Keagy, President and co-founder of ServePath. ?The economy is forcing companies to conserve cash so they don?t want to waste their capital and engineering resources when they can get better services cheaper, faster and easier through outsourcing.?

The new facility, says ServePath, is located in the Townsend Telecommunications Center at 650 Townsend Street, a building that also houses offices for Macromedia, Sega and several telecom companies.

The ServePath facility provides a controlled environment with UPS systems, an auto-start diesel generator, 864,000 watts of redundant power and multiple high-speed fiber connections to leading networks throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. The physically secure facility is also removed from the building?s exterior walls and has security guards and alarm and fire suppression systems.

ServePath says the facility will be staffed 24/7 with ServePath engineers to ensure customer servers are always online and functioning.
